They didn’t win the Stanley Cup, but still had one of the greatest seasons in a long time. I think I saw more wins this season than I even have in the past. The team’s improbable playoff win was so amazing: knocking off the first place Wings, coming back from a 2-0 defecit against San Jose, dealing with the flu against Anaheim, recording the first ever shootout goal in playoff finals history, recording the first ever overtime shorthanded goal in finals history, losing their star goalie due to injury, and still making it to a Stanley Cup Game Seven takes a lot. And its been the most fun time following it. With a lot of favourite players on this team, I hope it sticks together over the summer, and that there is more to see from them next year.
It was unusual to still be following hockey at this time of year, when attention usually turns to football and the Eskimos. But, now that the rain has subsided, I think its time to head outside and continue the fun that this summer has started off with.
